If you are seriously injured in a car wreck, there are a few things to remember to help ensure the best possible outcome for your case:
Never leave the scene of an accident you are involved in. This is a hit and run. It is illegal in Texas and could result in jail time.
Be sure to file a police report with the Tyler PD or the local police department in your city. If the accident is minor and the police do not need to be dispatched, you should still file an accident report. That way you do not get charged with a hit and run.
Call 911 if needed. Do not dismiss your injuries. Many accident-related injuries show up days or weeks after the incident. Get checked out by a medical professional as soon as possible whether you are in pain or not.
If it's possible and safe to do so, avoid moving the vehicles. This allows the police to determine what really happened. Oncoming traffic, fire, injury, debris, and weather all pose continuing risks. So move away from the vehicles if needed for safety, but if possible, keep your car where it is.
While it may sound like a kind gesture, saying you're sorry is the same as claiming legal liability. Even if you think the wreck is your fault, do not admit fault until a professional assesses the situation. Accidents happen very quickly. There may be factors that are not obvious.
Write down their name, phone number, and email address to ensure you are able to contact them if necessary.
You never know when a car accident claim may go to court. If that happens, you’ll want witnesses.
Keep all receipts, records, medical bills, and paperwork related to the accident in any way. This helps us request the maximum settlement for your case.
See details below of the type of pictures that are important to capture after an accident.
The camera on your smartphone works perfectly for documenting your accident. If you don’t have a smartphone, purchase an inexpensive disposable camera to keep in your car’s glove box.
Take pictures of:
Be sure to take a picture of the corresponding vehicle.
Protect your identity: Do not let the other driver photograph your driver’s license. Likewise, do not request to photograph theirs. Instead, exchange contact information with pen and paper.
Our work is based on a contingency fee agreement. That means, we charge no out of pocket expense to our clients. We don’t get paid until you do.
Most of the time, a car accident case can be resolved very quickly because the insurance company will usually settle outside of court. However, occasionally a complex case may require us to file a lawsuit and go to trial. When this happens, the case usually takes longer.
The Texas statute of limitations allows people to file a car accident claim up to two years after the event.
